It would be nice if they would finish the fish ladder at Sunset falls since it is something like 40 or 60 percent done problem is they will have to build one around Canyon Falls. But instead they have been trucking the fish around these falls for 40 + years.

Someone correct me if I am wrong- but I thought they sold all the power to California and then purchased back the amount we needed here in WA

A 150 million dollar project ought to create some jobs

Doesn't look to be too big of a Dam. Whats the ratio of long term jobs to people evicted upstream?

[TikkaT3-270Shortmag]

Won't create many long term jobs.

Might be some benefits here:
Project Benefits Include:
•It’s a non-polluting, renewable resource, with no heat or noxious gas releases.
•Provides energy at the times of the year when it’s needed the most.
•One of the best priced renewable energy sources available.
•A locally generated resource right in the PUD’s backyard, minimizing the need for expensive new transmission systems.
•Upgrades to the trap-and-haul facility would ultimately increase fish populations by improving the health of fish being transported upstream to 90 miles of spawning habitat, currently accessed by more than 25,000 fish annually.
•PUD funding for the Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife’s trap-and-haul facility would provide stability for operations and maintenance of the facility for years to come

There is no price or benefit that can match native fish to me. Just my 2 cents

Skyval,

Where did you get that info? Anytime we start messing with mother nature there are going to be unforseen negative impacts. Who woulda thought putting dams in would ruin wild fish returns when dams were first being introduced? They will provide funding to wdfw for "years to come." How many years? 5? Until the fish stop coming back?

I'm with tikka on this issue, no price is worth it.

Signed!

Simply put, we have enough of a surplus of power already that we are selling it out of state, why do we need to further damage our local ecosystem to make power?

In the obama job market, that would only create 150 jobs
